The Pwange Tool which was released by DevTeam recently has made it very easy for the iPhone users to unlock and jailbreak their original iPhone and iPhone 3G. The hacking tool is also set for an update very soon as it does not support the iPhone 3GS presently. The software came just a week after Apple set free the 3.1 software update for the iPhone.
Jailbreaking the iPhone 3G 2.1/2.2 enables you to get an access to sounds, themes, games and lets you install a number of other third party applications. You can use MMS, emulators and adult content as well. However, you must make sure that by running the jailbreaking software you are not jeopardizing the warranty of the iPhone.
Jailbreaking your iPhone opens up a world of free applications before you. Applications such as the Terminal and theming which looks nice and adds to the fun are easily available. The homescreen unlocking on a 2.5G iPhone also becomes very easy. This is achieved if you try the method of neutering by performing a completely reversible unlock on the baseband. Unlocking the baseband is somewhat difficult on 3G iPhones and you are dicey even if you happen to unlock the baseband.

Yesterday we showed you how GeoHot managed to unlock OTB iPhones running 1.1.2 or 1.1.3. Although the guide in there would allow anyone with time or experience to achieve the unlock, Zibri from iPhone-Elite has created ZiPhone to handle the bulk of the work for you. Using ZiPhone means that you don’t even have to downgrade to 1.1.1 firmware for this to work anymore. But it doesn’t stop at unlocking. ZiPhone can actually Jailbreak your iPhone along with the ability to repair your baseband for you as well. Zibri has made the program available for both OS X and Windows users so anyone can take advantage of this on your brand new 16gb iPhone. With the SDK launching this month, the cat and mouse game may actually slow down long enough for people to enjoy their jailbroken or unlocked iPhones without having to sacrifice new features

The legendary Nate True has done it again folks. Prepare to go through the steps to jailbreak your iPhone yet again so you can truly enjoy all of the features it has to offer. In less than 10 days, Nate True and his compatriots managed not only to jailbreak the iPhone, but to release a windows and mac based tool for public use as well. So if you’ve been following the iPhone mod scene and this isn’t your first jailbreak, then your in luck, as currently this will only work on iPhones that had been jailbroken in their 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 state.
For those of you new to the concept of jailbreaking your iPhone, I suggest you wait. Although these hackers have managed to utilize the iPhone technology far better than Apple has, you may end up with a shiny new brick instead of an unlocked phone. With the SDK being released for the iPhone within the next month, you should be able to purchase most of these features. Although currently offered free by the hacking community, good luck bringing that in to the Genius Bar if you have a problem that you can’t exactly fix yourself.
It’s always interesting to see how fast hackers manage to circumnavigate the intentions of the original developer. The cat and mouse game between Apple and the hacking community won’t be put to sleep by the iPhone SDK release. Most likely, it will open up several new doors.
